Trevor Huddleston Bio
Trevor Huddleston (born May 31, 1996) is an American stock car racing driver who competes full-time in the ARCA Menards Series West. He drives the No. 50 Ford for his family-owned team, High Point Racing. Huddleston is the 2025 ARCA Menards Series West champion, capping a steady climb through West Coast short tracks and regional touring series.
Early Life and Background
Trevor Huddleston was born on May 31, 1996, in Agoura Hills, California. He grew up in a household tied closely to short-track racing, and that environment shaped his early interest in driving. His father, Tim Huddleston, owns the family team High Point Racing and is himself a former track champion at Irwindale Speedway, giving Trevor a direct connection to the sport from a young age.
Huddleston began his competitive career in 2008 in bandolero racing. He progressed through the Sportsman class at Irwindale Speedway in 2011 and moved into late models at Madera Speedway by 2014. Those early years on California short tracks gave him the experience that would later support his rise in the ARCA Menards Series West.
Path to NASCAR
Huddleston’s path to NASCAR-sanctioned competition ran through the developmental ladder of the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West, which is now known as the ARCA Menards Series West. He made his series debut in 2016 with Sunrise Ford Racing, finishing tenth at Irwindale Speedway. After stepping away from the series in 2017, he returned in 2018 for what he expected to be a limited slate but turned into a full season, finishing sixth in the final standings.
His big breakthrough came on March 30, 2019, when he earned his first career K&N Pro Series win at his home track of Irwindale in a photo finish over Tanner Gray. He added a second win that year at Evergreen Speedway and finished fourth in points. The results established him as a regular contender in the series and set the stage for his move back to the family team.
Trevor Huddleston Career
Early Career (2008–2015)
Huddleston started in bandolero cars in 2008 and worked his way up through the weekly short-track ranks in Southern California. After a 2011 season in the Sportsman class at Irwindale Speedway, he moved to late models at Madera Speedway in 2014. In 2015, he claimed his first Irwindale track championship while winning five late model races, an early sign of the consistency that has defined his career.
During the 2016 season, Huddleston raced almost exclusively at Irwindale Speedway and won ten races, building a strong reputation in the local scene. The next year, he expanded his schedule to Irwindale, Kern County Raceway Park, and Tucson Speedway, running 35 races and winning 22 of them. That strong run carried him to a national title fight, where he finished three points behind Lee Pulliam for the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series championship.
ARCA Menards Series West Breakthrough (2018–2021)
Returning to the K&N Pro Series West in 2018, Huddleston ran a full season with Sunrise Ford Racing and finished sixth in points. In 2019, he scored his first series victory at Irwindale and added a second win at Evergreen Speedway on his way to a fourth-place finish in the standings. Those results cemented his status as a rising talent on the West Coast tour.
In 2020, he moved to Sunrise Ford’s No. 6 and finished fourth in the standings. He returned to the same ride in 2021 and ended the year sixth in points. Even without a win during that stretch, Huddleston stayed close to the front and kept his name in the conversation among the series’ top regulars.
High Point Racing Era (2022–Present)
After losing his ride to Tanner Reif in 2022, Huddleston rejoined his family-owned High Point Racing in the No. 50 Ford. He ran a partial schedule that year, highlighted by a third-place run at Irwindale. In 2023, he drove the No. 50 full time, won a race at Irwindale, and finished a career-high third in the standings.
He returned to the No. 50 in 2024 and strung together back-to-back wins at Madera Speedway and All American Speedway, finishing third in points for the second straight year. The 2025 season proved to be his breakthrough year, with Huddleston taking the opening race at Kern County Raceway Park, adding another Kern win, and then sweeping back-to-back races at Madera Speedway and the Las Vegas Bullring. That hot start carried him to the ARCA Menards Series West championship. In 2026, he continued his strong run with wins at Shasta and Colorado.
Driving Style and Strengths
Huddleston is at his best on the short tracks and mid-sized ovals that dominate the ARCA Menards Series West schedule, where his late-model background shows through in clean, consistent race runs. He is known for strong pace in the closing laps and steady execution, and he has turned his home-track advantage at Irwindale into multiple wins. His family-run team setup also allows for tight collaboration on car preparation and strategy from week to week.
Notable Races and Milestones
His first series win at Irwindale in 2019, decided by a photo finish over Tanner Gray, remains one of the defining moments of his career. Back-to-back wins at Madera and All American Speedway in 2024 showed his ability to string together strong stretches, while his 2025 sweep through Kern County, Madera, and the Las Vegas Bullring delivered the championship. The 2026 wins at Shasta and Colorado have also added to his growing list of signature victories.

Trevor Huddleston Family
Family Background and Racing Lineage
Huddleston comes from a family with deep roots in short-track racing. His father, Tim Huddleston, owns High Point Racing and is a former track champion at Irwindale Speedway, which has given Trevor a strong support system both in the garage and at the track. The family-owned team has been central to his career, providing the seat that brought him back to full-time competition in 2023 and the platform for his 2025 ARCA Menards Series West title.
Personal Life
Huddleston is engaged to Nastasia Dodd. He proposed to her in victory lane after winning the 2024 West Coast Stock Car Motorsports Hall of Fame 150 at Madera Speedway, the track where the two met. He also attends Moorpark College, balancing his racing schedule with his education in California.
2025 Season Performance
Trevor Huddleston’s 2025 ARCA Menards Series West season was the most complete campaign of his career. He opened the year with a win at Kern County Raceway Park and followed it with another victory at Kern, then produced a defining stretch with back-to-back wins at Madera Speedway and the Las Vegas Bullring. Those four early-season victories gave him the points foundation he would carry through the rest of the schedule.
From that point, Huddleston stayed inside the championship conversation with the kind of consistent top finishes that have long defined his approach. By the end of the season, he had done enough to be crowned the 2025 ARCA Menards Series West champion, adding a touring-series title to the local track championships he had won earlier in his career.
Heading into 2026, Huddleston has already opened the new season with wins at Shasta and Colorado, showing that the form from his title run has carried over. With High Point Racing continuing to field the No. 50 Ford and his family team operation running smoothly, Huddleston enters the new year as one of the clear benchmarks in the ARCA Menards Series West garage.
